书籍介绍

The roadmap for finding purpose, meaning, and success as we age, from bestselling author, Harvard professor, and the Atlantic's happiness columnist Arthur Brooks.

Many of us assume that the more successful we are, the less susceptible we become to the sense of professional and social irrelevance that often accompanies aging. But the truth is, the greater our achievements and our attachment to them, the more we notice our decline, and the more painful it is when it occurs.

What can we do, starting now, to make our older years a time of happiness, purpose, and yes, success?

At the height of his career at the age of 50, Arthur Brooks embarked on a seven-year journey to discover how to transform his future from one of disappointment over waning abilities into an opportunity for progress. From Strength to Strength is the result, a practical roadmap for the rest of your life.

Drawing on social science, philosophy, biography, theology, and eastern wisdom, as well as dozens of interviews with everyday men and women, Brooks shows us that true life success is well within our reach. By refocusing on certain priorities and habits that anyone can learn, such as deep wisdom, detachment from empty rewards, connection and service to others, and spiritual progress, we can set ourselves up for increased happiness.

Read this book and you, too, can go from strength to strength.

人衰老並不可怕,可怕的是人還沒有衰老了,就已經被衰老打敗了。
适合睡前看,平抚心情容易入眠。清淡版鸡汤。
中老年反卷指南,但实际操作中如果前面卷的不够狠,后面根本躺不平呀。 主要针对卷的很厉害的人,本来就不想卷的咋办捏?
呃 看些提前治疗的心理自助书
第二曲线,从智商到智慧,挺好的。
对处于中年危机中的人是一本非常及时的书
流体智力fluid intelligence: - 生理结构:前额叶皮质 - 功能:负责快速分析、创意、创新、逻辑推理、弹性思考、解决新问题 - 衰退:30-40岁 晶体智力crystalized intelligence: - 生理结构:可能是跟记忆相关的区域 - 功能:运用过去积累的知识库存的能力 - 衰退:人生非常晚期,甚至完全不会衰退 用物 爱人 敬天
交付了什么? 关于成功人生议题的探讨;人类智力包括流体智力和晶体智力,随着年龄增加,我们应该偏向去做些晶体智力(经验)的工作和领域;要对职场发展做断舍离,早些舍弃成功的执念,围绕工作的价值去思考出路。 我的感受? good
我并不喜欢这本书,一开始被封面吸引。读了以后发现并不是我所期待的。作者对自己也很迷恋。我不喜欢他说话的语气里处处透着一种优越感。
